Gutter Installation in Willimantic, CT

Challenge

Sherry in Willimantic, CT was facing a troubling issue in her home. She noticed that there were wet walls and water damage in the basement, leaving her very concerned. After calling a contractor to inspect the situation, they tore down the wall and informed her that water was seeping behind her walls, and it was likely due to her aging gutters, which weren’t directing water away from her home properly. Concerned about the damage and the risk of more serious problems, Sherry knew it was time to take action. After hearing positive feedback from a friend who had a roof replacement done by Klaus Larsen Roofing, she reached out to us for a solution.

After meeting with our sales representative, Sherry learned about the benefits of our seamless gutters and their ability to channel water away from her home, preventing further damage. Confident in our work, she decided to move forward with the installation. Once the new gutters were in place, Sherry noticed an immediate difference. Her basement was dry, the air felt cleaner, and her heating and cooling costs improved. She was thrilled with the outcome and couldn’t be happier with her decision to choose Klaus Larsen Roofing. Sherry now highly recommends us for anyone in need of reliable, long-lasting solutions.

This photo shows the before condition of the home. We did not do a roof replacement on this home. The old gutters were in need of help as they were no longer doing their job to keep this home protected, and action had to be taken fast.

This is the back of the home, where you can see the old downspout. Water was pooling right at that base, seeping into the basement walls. The home is placed at a valley, causing excess water to be funneled down.

This photo highlights the newly installed, larger seamless gutters designed to efficiently channel rainwater away from the home. With their increased capacity and seamless construction, these gutters provide enhanced protection against water damage, preventing issues like basement leaks and foundation erosion.

This photo shows another side of the home, showing off the new seamless gutters freshly installed. As you can see the downspout is pointed away from the home ensuring that the water will not keep flooding into the basement walls, made for this purpose.
